Gaddafi forces fight rebels near Tunisia border

Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi are fighting a gunbattle with rebels around the Libyan town of Wazin on the Libyan-Tunisian border.

A Reuters correspondent on the Tunisian side of the border said he could hear artillery rounds and small arms fire. He said Tunisian border guards had closed the nearby Dehiba-Wazin border crossing and were evacuating people from the area. (Reuters)
